F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was an American novelist and short story writer, widely regarded as one of the greatest American authors of the 20th century. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, Fitzgerald attended Princeton University, though he left before graduating to enlist in World War I. His debut novel, This Side of Paradise (1920), brought him immediate fame and marked the beginning of his career as a chronicler of the Jazz Age, a term coined by Fitzgerald himself. His most famous work, The Great Gatsby (1925), explores themes of wealth, love, and the American Dream, and has since become a staple of American literature. Despite his early success, Fitzgerald struggled with personal and financial problems throughout his life, including the breakdown of his marriage to Zelda Sayre, whom he married in 1920. He spent his later years in relative obscurity, battling alcoholism and working on uncompleted projects. Fitzgerald died at the age of 44, but his legacy endures through his works, which continue to captivate readers with their examination of American society and human desires.
